Dan Brown's novel The Da Vinci Code blew away all kind of publishing records following its release in spring 2003. A year later at least a dozen guides to the novel were published and a few, including Martin Lunn's Da Vinci Code Decoded from Disinformation Books, made the bestseller charts themselves. The demand for more knowledge on what were once considered obscure topics is insatiable, now this Disinformation DVD Exclusive presents the key authors and researchers on 'Da Vinci Code' related subject matter in the definitive guide to Dan Brown's masterpiece.
The Da Vinci Code has sold over 8 million copies in hardback and is still #1 on the hardcover fiction charts. A new illustrated edition is out this fall; the mass market paperback has not yet been announced, the hardcover is selling too well). A Ron Howard directed movie (Columbia Pictures) is also set for late 2005, guaranteeing that there will be a 'second wave' of DVC-related interest, which shows no signs of abating anytime soon!
This definitive documentary exploration of The Da Vinci Code rounds up ALL the key players in the field, including DVC author Dan Brown and Holy Blood, Holy Grail co-author Henry Lincoln talking about the key topics in the novel.
